Line strength for Shimano Exage rod

[spinfisher]

Hi - just joined!
Have a Shimano Exage Travel spin rod - 15-40g - not sure what size reel and max line strength to use.

Firstly spinfisher welcome to the forum, you'll find many lads here only too willing to help you in any way they can. It's a bit difficult to answer your question without a bit more information. What species are you targetting? What type of venue are you visiting? Kind regards.

Is it like this one ???? ,if so the 1000 series Shimano fixed spools are ideal , 10lb line maybe !, depends what your gonna be fishing for .

Thanks Dadwood and MRG2000 - great to get such quick replies.

The Exage rod is actually a 4/5 piece in the same series but not telescopic.
I want to use the rod for 'holiday' sessions - travelling light.
Will be 'pot-luck' river/canal/lake fishing for general course fishing.
Might also be doing some light sea fishing - spinning from beach and safe rocks, dangling from pier etc.

Like the idea of a matching Shimano reel - any suggested combinations of reel size and line strength?
Many thanks
